Compute Express Link (CXL) Market - Global Market
Compute Express Link (CXL) is a type of an open standard interface that is used for the high-speed communication applications in processors, accelerators, and memory expansion devices. This interconnect technology offers faster connectivity between many forms of memory devices and supports the memory coherency between the central processing unit (CPU) memory space and memory on the attached devices. The adoption of CXL technology helps to reduce the software stack complexity, provides higher performance, and lowers overall system costs.
The global compute express link (CXL) market size is expected to grow from USD XX million in 2024 to USD XX million by 2030, at a CAGR of XX%. The proliferation of data center facilities worldwide, and increasing uptake of CXL technology by semiconductor giants are the major factors fueling the growth of compute express link (CXL) market.

Drivers: Proliferation of data center facilities worldwide
The compute express link (CXL) offers high-end connectivity in between many forms of memory-attached devices including graphics processing unit (GPU), tensor processing unit (TPU), central processing unit (CPU), and other processors types, utilized in the modern data centers. This technology helps data center operators to efficiently handle the yottabytes (YB) of data which is primarily generated by machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Surging digitalization across various industry verticals is expected to increase the deployment of newer data center facilities world wide. This will further increase the uptake of CXL technology-based high-end memory-attached devices across these new data center facilities in coming years, supporting the market growth.
Increasing uptake of CXL technology by semiconductor giants
Exponential data growth is encouraging the semiconductor industry to embrace distuptive technologies across storage and memory devices, interconnect components, and processors. Several tech giants such as Intel Corporation (US), Synopsys, Inc. (US), Dell Technologes Inc. (US), Samsung (South Korea), Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (US), Rambus Inc. (US), are extensively focusing on incorporating compute express link (CXL) technology in their upcoming product offerings to gain competitive edge in the market. For instance, in March 2022, Intel Corporation (US) launched Agilex M-Series FPGAs which are integrated with compute express link (CXL) and Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) Gen5 interconnect technology. The incorporation of this technology will help the company to cater to growing demand for semiconductor memory, including capacity, bandwidth, latency and power efficiency across storage and networking applications. Such development initiatives will fuel the compute express link (CXL) market growth over the forecast period.
Challenges: Clallenges associated with latency optimizations of CXL-based memory solutions
Concerns with latency optimizations of CXL-based memory solutions pose a major challenge to the compute express link (CXL) market growth over the forecast period. The CXL-based memory solution provides high flexibility and can be used with the existing PCIe-based infrastructure. However, on the downside, a fluctuation in the latency optimizations can be observed across a persistent memory devices integrated with CXL-technology, which is expected to impact the market growth to some extent.
Key players in the market
Intel Corporation (US), Rambus Inc. (US), Montage Technology (China), Samsung (South Korea), SK Hynix (South Korea), Tanzanite Silicon Solutions, Inc. (Marvell) (US), Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (US), Astera Labs, Inc. (US), and Mobiveil, Inc. (US) are few key players in the compute express link (CXL) market globally.
Recent Developments
- In August 2022, SK Hynix (South Korea) launched new memory expansion module which is incorporated with the CXL 2.0 specification. The company’s CXL 2.0 memory expansion modules bring RAM (Random-access Memory) to EDSFF (Enterprise and Data Center SSD Form Factor) for next-generation server applications.
- In August 2022, SMART Modular Technologies, Inc. (US) launched ‘DDR5 XMM CXL’, which is its new compute express link (CXL) memory module. The new memory module is designed to meet the bandwidth and capacity needs for data centers and server applications and workloads in the market.
- In October 2021, Rambus Inc. (US) launched new CXL 2.0 controller with industry-leading zero-latency Integrity and Data Encryption (IDE) modules. The new controller offers high security at speed in CXL specification which helps to solve the bandwidth bottleneck in data center infrastructure.
